I guess when we think about the Dylan-Donovan comparisons, we tend to forget that Donovan only did folk type material for a year.  We also forget that during that year, Dylan went rock and roll which boarders on a sixties punk type of sound.  A lot of good outtakes from 1965 and 1966 have been released from time to time in his bootleg series.

Yeah, I was wondering when someone was going to present the clip from that Dylan movie. 

Even though either musician may not really "fit" in this garagepunk community, I would think that Dylan totally blows Donovan away. 

The lukewarm response towards Dylan surprises me on this website, but contrariness abounds in the world of punk and garage.  Well, Dylan is a master contrarian.

This is definitely why I miss a place like Fallout Records in Seattle.  It would carry mags like this and every type of fanzine available.

thanks sean - dropping you an email now from tim at indiebandsblog.com

Yessir, I take commissions! You can get me at sean at internetpork.com

Great artwork - does anyone know if he takes commissions?

  If I were a betting man , I'd place a 20 against all takers that Gary Panter mentions Lee Baxter Davis in the Pork interview......Davis was an Art Professor at East Texas State University , Panter studied with him , and I did , too , about 10 years later. Every interview I see with Panter , he always mentions him , with great enthusiasm.

I see the ad on TV all the time but I live in a single screen theater town and it's really not on the priority list.  I'm probably gonna wait until it come out on On-Demand.

It hasn't come to Pittsburgh yet, but I will see it when it does. I'd like to know what you think of it, John.

I have'nt seen it , but plan to , ASAP....it got three stars , and a favorable , front page , writeup , in The Chicago Tribune , and the Chicago Reader gave it a pretty good review , noting it's "Not as fun as "That Thing You Do"". I'd be pretty disappointed if there were nothing dark about it.....Like how young bands got bullied and pimped out by Gangsters  , and harrassed by The Police , at the same time , here in Chicago , and , I'm sure , other major cities. And , God forbid your hair was one strand past the acceptable ,if anachronistic , length. Lots of bands got stomped on for that , or the obvious fact that chicks dug 'em.

Howdy hodads!

Any weirdos here have this recently released box set yet? Worth trackin' down?

By accident. In the early 70s I ran a wire from my radio to the roof with a homemade metal clothes hanger antenna and picked up some Houston stations 60-70 miles away. Fortunately before I discovered punk and hard rock it was blues, rock n roll, and garage my parents had on vinyl playing around the house constantly.

Coming out of lurk mode here.  Anyone know if the Eastwood version of the Eko Roke is a good player?  I've always been curious but I've never played one.  Here's a peek.

 

I realize it's after Christmas but I just saw this thread & didn't see these two:

Jackie & the Cedrics - Silent Night Rumble/Santa Claus

The Henchmen - Come On Santa/Merry Christmas Baby

Both on Norton.

BTW , i liked the film , but so little original Love footage exists , anyway - "My Little Red Book" on American Bandstand and the "Your Mind and We Belong Together" promo film.

Can't think of much else.

Anything's possible , but , I don't think Arthur was ever really homeless....I forget , what year was it , that Arthur went to jail? I saw him in Chicago in '93 or '94 , there were maybe 75 people there. But , of course , he played to packed houses , upwards of 500+ when he got out of jail. I'm sure there were times he was virtually destitute  , but , he was playing a lot in the 90's , AND MORESO WHEN HE GOT OUT OF JAIL. The "Free Arthur Lee" campaign was tremendous , but where was the same show of support for Roky Erickson when he was in jail , ca.1990? Roky's never even been known to own a gun.

well, tho your review is mixed - I'll still check it out. De Capo is one of my fave records.
i once really thought i saw Arthur Lee in a Borders bookstore on 3rd st. in Santa Monica.

he looked homeless and was drinking a cup of coffee. This was in '99 maybe.
when you live in L.A. you catch sightings like that. and then i heard he was homeless...?

i just saw "Billy Childish is Dead."

what can i say. loved it.

I really like this song!

I agree it's got something new in it a bit more "Garage/Grungy" for want of a better word.
